2142 Sister Nian: We’re Not Close. Take Your Things

Xie Xinyao pointed at Qiao Nian and said indignantly, “Aunt, you said that I’m not worthy. Then is she worthy of your teaching?”

Xie Tingyun was not trying to discourage her. She had also tried her best to express her intentions tactfully. She did not expect Xie Xinyao to have such a big reaction.

She was silent for a moment as she looked into the angry Xie Xinyao’s eyes and said indifferently, “Did you enter the Level 8 laboratory in three months?”

Silence.

“If I remember correctly, it took you eight years to enter the Level 8 laboratory. The difference between you and her is as great as between three months and eight years.”

Xie Tingyun was very direct. “What is a genius? A genius is a minority favored by the heavens. I’m not looking down on you. I’m just telling you this fact. Some people are born with talents that ordinary people like us don’t have.

“You, on the other hand, have no talent.”

You have no talent!

Xie Xinyao felt as if she had been slapped in the face. Her face turned red, and she could barely control her anger and unhappiness.

She said to Mother Xie with a straight face, “Mom, let’s go.”

“Xinyao, don’t be rash.” Mother Xie was obviously still hesitating.

Xie Tingyun’s connections were extraordinary even for the Xie family. How could Mother Xie be willing to give these to an outsider? Even now, she still thought that since Xie Tingyun did not have a child, everything that belonged to her should go to her daughter.

“Are you leaving or not?” Xie Xinyao had been compet.i.tive since she was young and had grown up being flattered by others. She could not take this lying down. She stomped her feet and waved her hand. “If you’re not leaving, I’ll leave!”

She couldn’t even be bothered to say goodbye to Xie Tingyun and Nan Tianyi as she left.

“Xinyao.” Madam Xie panicked. About to chase after her, she did not forget to smooth things over. “Tingyun, we’ll visit you another day.”

Before Xie Tingyun could speak, Qiao Nian blocked her way and stuffed the box she took back from Nan Tianyi into her hand. Her eyes were sharp as she curled her lips and said impatiently, “This gift is too much for me. I can’t accept it. Take it back.”

Mother Xie was furious. She did not want to fall out with Qiao Nian because of Xie Tingyun. She should have said a few more hypocritical words, but Xie Xinyao left quickly and was about to disappear from her view. Not caring about anything else, she could only take back the box and say awkwardly, “Auntie will give you something else another day.”

Qiao Nian put her hands in her pockets after returning the gift. Unable to hide her sloppy bandit aura, she raised her eyebrows and said frivolously, “There’s no need.”

Mother Xie met her dark eyes as the girl said casually, “We’re not that close. I don’t take things from strangers.”

It was obvious who the stranger was!

Qiao Nian almost engraved the word ‘stranger’ on her face.

Mother Xie’s face heated up. After all, she was from one of the three big families of the independent continent. She valued reputation and dignity.

She tried to hold it in, but she could not. She grabbed her things and walked away quickly.

Xie Tingyun watched them leave and apologized to Qiao Nian tiredly. “Nian Nian, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect them to do this. If I had known, I wouldn’t have invited them.”

Wasn’t this causing trouble for others?

However, Xie Tingyun had indeed not expected Mother Xie to do such an unseemly thing. She had called the Xie family over because she wanted to introduce Qiao Nian to Mother Xie and the others so that they could pave the way for her in the future.

“It’s fine.” Qiao Nian did not take it to heart. After comforting Xie Tingyun, she lowered her eyes and said to Nan Tianyi, “Let’s go in.”
